Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“It will be in a few more days. It’s fine. You can do your work. I’ll do my best to accompany her.”
Truthfully, she was very afraid that Byron would see Flora’s crazy appearance and decided to stay away from her because of it.
That was why she didn’t dare to tell Byron despite knowing that Flora would undergo the second surgery the next day.
Seeing that Byron still wanted to say something else, she simply stood on tiptoe and sealed his lips.
And her burning enthusiasm was something that Byron couldn’t resist.
Therefore, the beautiful night had officially entered its prelude…
Cora had been very careful to hide the news that Flora would undergo the surgery the next day, for fear that Byron would forcefully ask to go to the hospital together if he found out about it, and then bumped into Flora having an episode.
After having a night full of passion, she finally managed to make him temporarily forget to inquire about this, and she ended up so exhausted that she couldn’t straighten up.
She had just seen Byron off when she received a call from the hospital and was told that Flora refused to undergo the second surgery and even refused to take today’s medicine.
Cora could only rush to the hospital at lightning speed.
She could already hear Flora’s screaming even before she entered the ward.
“I won’t undergo the surgery! If I die, or if I become ugly, then so be it! Is that your problem?”
Cora hurriedly opened the door to the ward and saw Flora standing on the hospital bed while holding the infusion stand and brandishing it at the medical staff who stood around the hospital bed coaxing her.
“Mrs. Flora Lane, please calm down. Even if you don’t want to undergo the surgery, you still have to take medicine as usual…”
The medical staff, led by Matt, were still trying to persuade her, but when Flora saw someone approaching the bed, she would immediately greet them with the infusion stand.
“Don’t come here! I’ve told you I don’t want to take medicine, so I won’t take it no matter what! Who are you to tell me what to do? You are no one to me!”
Cora rushed to the front and grabbed the infusion stand.
“Mom, please, don’t do this! Come down here, and we can discuss this peacefully.”
“I’ve told you. There’s nothing to talk about unless you break up with him.”
Flora attempted to swing the infusion stand again, but the medical staff managed to keep her under control before taking the infusion stand away.
Afterward, Matt could only inject Flora with a sedative.
Once Flora lay down, Matt ushered Cora outside to talk.
“Cora, it seems like the surgery couldn’t be done for the time being, so we have to set another time.”
Cora expressed her understanding. With Flora’s this kind of behavior, who knew what kind of things she might do after the surgery?
On one side, she was afraid that Flora would die of this, but on the other hand, she was also worried that she would ruin Matt’s reputation in the burns unit.
After Matt left, only Cora and Flora left in the ward.
Perhaps it was because Flora had taken too many sedatives before that she didn’t immediately fall asleep after being injected with sedative earlier and even kept her eyes open.
“Mom, can you not do this? I have explained everything that needs to be explained to you, and I really don’t want to break up with him. There’s no point in you doing this…”
Cora sat beside her hospital bed, holding her hand and persuading her.
Flora’s eyes looked a bit sluggish, but her words still sent a chill in Cora’s heart.
“If you don’t break up with him, I will die on your watch.”
Cora asked painfully,
“Is it because he was with Dr. Yoris before? I’ve told you that it was just a misunderstanding!”
She once suspected whether it was Jane’s fault, but she also felt that Flora would not disregard her own daughter’s happiness for Jane.
So she could only tell herself that Flora had suffered from love, and it was simply because Flora loved her that she didn’t want Cora to repeat the same mistakes.
“Mom, I really love him. I don’t even know how much I love him, but I really can’t imagine the days without him in the future…”
The time she spent with Byron was truly the happiest in her life.
Even if Nora tried to make things difficult for her in many ways, she didn’t care about it.
“Please just let me be with him. Except for this, I’ll do anything you want.”
On that day, Cora thoroughly poured her heart out and begged Flora countless times.
She thought that Flora had at least listened a bit to what she had said to the point that she would no longer use surgery and medicine to force Cora to make a decision. But it turned out that she still overestimated her position in Flora’s heart.
The next day, she was busy running around in the emergency room when a colleague hurried over to her and said,
“This is bad, Dr. Lane. Your mother is going to jump off the building!”
Cora immediately ignored everything, followed that colleague to the hospital’s rooftop, and saw Flora sitting on the edge.
The torments from the burns on Flora’s body lately had seemingly turned her into skin and bones, and the hospital gown on her body was blown wildly by the wind at the rooftop.
Matt and the other medical staff in the burns unit were still trying to persuade her.
“Mrs. Flora Lane, will you please come down? Everything is negotiable. If you don’t want to undergo the surgery, then we won’t force you. If you don’t want to take medicine, we can reduce it as appropriate!
“Mrs. Flora Lane, please think about Cora. She has worked so hard for you!”
But Flora didn’t seem to listen to anything and remained still.
Cora looked at that scene and felt her heart was about to break.
“Mom, come down quickly, okay? We can discuss everything. Don’t do stupid things, okay?”
Cora slowly approached the edge of the rooftop step by step, and she heard her own voice trembling in the strong wind.
But upon hearing Cora’s voice, Flora suddenly became agitated.
She stood up and yelled at Cora,
“Don’t come here! I’ve told you not to call me your mom if you don’t break up with him! Me being dead or alive has nothing to do with you either!”
“I’ll listen to you. I’ll listen to everything you say,”
Cora said, and she tried to step forward.
Seeing that Cora wanted to get close to her, Flora became more agitated.
“Don’t listen to my words! Don’t you want to be with him? Then go! I can guarantee you that as long as you register your marriage with him, you can pick up my dead body the next day!”
Due to her gestures, there was a moment when Flora almost fell off the edge of the rooftop.
At that moment, Cora felt that her heart was about to stop, and she instantly recalled the scene when
Flora was rescued out of the fire, then lying motionless on the stretcher, not knowing whether she was dead or alive…
That was the most desperate moment in Cora’s life. For many nights until now, she would dream of that moment and wake up from the dream crying and screaming at the top of her lungs.
But just now, Flora had seemingly made her experience the darkest moment of her life again.
The intense fear made her ignore her own safety as she rushed forward and dragged Flora back, holding her tightly in her arms.
But Flora’s resistance was still extremely strong.
“Don’t touch me! You make me sick. Go away!
“If you don’t break up with him, you have to get away from me. Even breathing the same air with you makes me sick!”
She pushed Cora desperately, even saying all kinds of vicious words to Cora.
But Cora didn’t dare to fight her as before, so she could only cry heartbreakingly and begged her,
“Mom, stop this. I will break up with him, so please don’t scare me like this again.”
It was also after hearing this that Flora’s expression changed significantly.
“Really?”
“Really. I’ll break up with him.”
Flora looked at Cora coldly.
“Don’t lie to me. You know that I can really do anything now.”
“I’m not lying to you.”
Cora cried hoarsely, but she didn’t know whether it was because of the lingering fear in her heart, or the despair of breaking up with Byron.
Right now, she really can’t afford to think about all that.
Her father had completely left her, and she wouldn’t be able to endure the pain if she had to lose her mother, too.
Especially if her mother was gone because of her, she probably would never forgive herself in this life.
And with Cora’s promise, Flora’s mood relaxed a lot, and she was being quite cooperative to be assisted by the medical staff to walk down the rooftop.
Today’s incident of Flora almost jumping off the building wasn’t considered a serious matter, but it wasn’t a simple matter either, and the people in the whole building were watching.
Jane was among these people.
Looking at Flora’s trembling figure assisted by the staff, a smile appeared on Jane’s lips, and the expression on her face was indecipherable…
Cora took half a day off to stay by Flora’s side, fearing she would do something extreme again.
At some point in between, Byron called her, telling her he was in Kinton right now and just getting off the plane before asking her what she was doing.
When Cora heard that man’s familiar voice, the sourness she felt at the tip of her nose immediately stirred the emotions in her heart again.
Reluctance, unwillingness, helplessness, and the powerless feeling were all jammed inside her heart, making her almost gasping for air.
Not getting her response for a long time, the man immediately noticed something was wrong.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Will you manage to come back tonight?”
Cora tried hard to suppress her emotions, not wanting the man to notice anything out of place.
“Probably not. Do you miss me?”
Not only the branch office of Sunda Group would be established in New York, but some business lines in Kinton would also move to New York, so there was naturally a heap of things to do.
If it wasn’t for Cora, Byron would have stayed in Kinton during this time, saving him from running back and forth.
